Windows 10: Question about my new PC suddenly becoming slow and rubbish!!!!

Hi allHope everyone is well.So I have a Samsung Galaxy Pro, 12th Gen i7, 16 RAM. It is a lovely machine. But suddenly it just won't run some games, even really old games. It used to be so fast. The Memory Usage with nothing running c.47%- is that not really high? There are some games that push it to nearly 100%....! The CPU and Disk are still very low....it just seems to be the RAM???I honestly don't know, I am not an IT person.... I did log into a dodgy website scam business about 2 weeks ago, so maybe that has done something? But the checks I did show everything ok.I have rebooted

:)

Lenovo laptop suddenly slow

I have a new Lenovo E580 laptop (bought January 2019) which suddenly started to run very slow. I have especially noticed it with build times in Visual Studio and loading times for a local website in IIS.

I have tried to reinstall Windows 10 Pro by formatting the entire computer but it’s still slow.

Laptop spec:

• Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
  
• CPU: i7-8550U 2.00GHz
  
• 16 GB RAM
  
• 512 SSD
  

Software where I really notice the slowness:

• Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.3.9
  
• IIS to Windows 10
  

I have tried to setup an older laptop with the same software installed as the new laptop, to compare the loading times. The old laptop has a very similar spec. (i7-4700MQ 2.40GHz, 16GB RAM, 256 SSD). The load time for a local website on the new laptop is 78 seconds where on the old is 30 seconds. On the new laptop it used to be around 30 seconds as well.

It’s not just Visual Studio and IIS that is slow it’s the entire laptop. I thought it would be fixed by reinstalling Windows but there were no improvements. I suspect it’s a hardware issue, but I don’t get any errors, and everything looks fine.

Does anyone have suggestions to what I can try to pinpoint this issue or is it better to contact Lenovo support, as the new laptop is still under warranty?
